Can You Hear It Ring? -

Across the fields and through the woods

In industry and in the hoods

From the top of the highest mountain

to the bottom of my street

From the pages in the towers

to the hungry hills of wheat

From the huddled masses yearning

before a golden door

To the homeless and the tempest-tossed

on the flooded shore

From the purple robes of prominence

to the eagle pose of dominance

the prisoners stand a-starin'

while the bugle horn’s a-blarin'

Can you hear it ring?

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Through the years and through the days

Through all your means and all your ways

Let the band play for you

As you rise, as you fall

In the silence of the struggle

with your back against the wall

With all the muster you can wrangle

from that star-spangled jangle

that clash, boom, drum cry

And try, and try, and try, and try
